When I'm about to go to a school dance, I always put on the Fragile Yes Record and listen to Roundabout for an hour. The bass line gets so pumped, so unbelievably fast, that I don't even need a ride to the school! I run out the door with the song playing on my Ipod and I still get there on time!

Easily the best bass riff! It is very complicated and just... brilliant! Should be number 1! - HollyRolo

Should be number 1, Money by Pink Floyd is good too though
